Some Las Vegas casinos are rethinking the strict no-photography rule that has long been part of the casino experience, particularly as the rise of social media and smartphones changes the way guests interact with their environments. The change will appeal to content creators and tech-savvy players alike while aligning with established privacy and security protocols in gaming spaces.
Casinos historically discouraged photography due to concerns over cheating, privacy, and discretion. “I would often be told we could not take photos in a casino because it was illegal,” said A.D. Hopkins, who began reporting on Las Vegas casinos in the 1970s. In fact, there has never been a law prohibiting taking photos in casinos, but the myth lived on, bolstered by the decades of no-nonsense enforcement by security teams.
